4.5 RS232 Command Table
Output Formats
Data output can be initiated in one of three ways:
1. By pressing the Print button;
2. Using the Print Interval feature;
3. Sending a print command (―P‖) from a computer.
RS232 Commands
All communication is accomplished using standard ASCII format. Only the characters shown in the
following table are acknowledged by the Moisture Analyzer. Invalid command response "ES" error
indicates the Moisture Analyzer has not recognized the command. Commands sent to the Moisture
Analyzer must be terminated with a Line Feed or carriage return-line line feed (CRLF). Data output by the
Moisture Analyzer is always terminated with a carriage return-line feed (CRLF).
